Is this the wedge-plow for snow removal on Ontario Midland?

Friend saw this sitting at the Sodus, NY yard. Ontario Midland shortline. Thinks it is their snow plow.

Looks like the one used in France between Nice and Digne. Nice, of course, does not see snow. Except for 1956. So their plow resides at Annot (78 kilometers…..47 miles from Nice). Other difference is track gauge….3 foot.
